# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed); notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency). It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail / tail freely.

# The root filesystem should have a pass number of either 0 or 1.
# All other filesystems should have a pass number of 0 or greater than 1.

Different users get no space left on device errors at different times.
root can use all the space on the device, this is a very bad thing as the machine usually hangs as logs cannot be written, lock files cannot be created and so on.
users can only use 95% of the space, by default. This prevents a user crashing the system.

The other condition that can give this error is being out of inodes. every file needs one or more inodes. If all your inodes are used, you cannot create any more files.

Computer users fall into two groups:-
those that do backups
those that have never had a hard drive fail.

Moving space around is non trivial and may be a threat to your install. You can make the space freed up by Windows into a new partition and attach it to Gentoo.
It looks like you have hit the 5% reserved for root limit.

You should run

Code:

eclean -d distfiles

to remove and downloaded tarballs you are unlikely to need again.
Broken builds accumulate in /var/tmp/portage you should remove that directory and its contents - but only when emerge is not running, as thats where emerge does it work.

You can also reduce the amount of space reserved for root. 1% or 2% should do. Do not set it to zero.

Code:

man tune2fs

will tell you how._________________Regards,

i-nodes are spaces reserved on your HDD to store data about the files you put on the file system.
They are often called "metadata" as they store data about data.

The i-nodes are created at filesystem creation time. Once created, you must remake the filesystem (which destroys all your data) to change the i-node count.
However, you can set the i-node count at file system creation time.

Code:

man mke2fs

tells how. There are several ways._________________Regards,
